Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

5 minutes with a Tony nominee: ‘Two Strangers’’ Tim Johanson, Gareth Lake and Kevin McCollum
Q: What makes Two Strangers stand out as a new work competing in Broadway's landscape?
The creators emphasize its fully original storytelling, strong writing, and relatable emotional core that transcends age groups, paired with a production team committed to nurturing new writers rather than chasing celebrity."
5 minutes with a Tony honoree: 1/52 Project’s Beowulf Boritt and Stefania Bulbarella
Q: What happens when someone receives a grant and how does it influence their future work?
Recipients gain financial stability to take on projects, have opportunities to collaborate with other designers, and many go on to debut on Broadway or become part of the program's ongoing network, creating a lasting community.
5 minutes with a Tony honoree: 1/52 Project’s Beowulf Boritt and Stefania Bulbarella
Q: Tell me about how that money is used and what it feels like to implement the grants in practice.
Grants are allocated through a careful, rigorous process with a committee reviewing dozens of applications; the money is given with no strings attached, allowing recipients to decide how to use it to best support their careers and projects.
5 minutes with a Tony honoree: 1/52 Project’s Beowulf Boritt and Stefania Bulbarella
Q: Beowulf, how did the idea of the specific model of giving away one royalty out of every 52 weeks come about?
The idea sprang from a sense of responsibility during the pandemic, recognizing inequities and feeling compelled to use existing earnings to help emerging designers; it was about making a scalable, communal effort that others could join, turning generosity into a sustained program.
5 minutes with a Tony nominee: ‘Joe Turner’s’ Justin Ellington
Q: Well, what I knew we wanted as a team, as a creative team, is to put real people on stage living a real life and not a highly theatricalized show in general.
Ellington explains that the sonic world should feel truthful and human, avoiding over-the-top theatrics so the audience sees themselves in the world of 1911.
